Die Stunde sei gesegnet, Wo ich dir bin begegnet, Wenn diese Liebe Lust Dir weckt in stiller Brust, Wie Tau auf Blumen regnet! Der Stunde sei geflucht, Wo ich dein Herz gesucht, Wenn in dir diese Liebe Statt milder Freudentriebe Soll tragen herbe Frucht! -- Gesegnet ist die Stunde, Sprach sie mit süßem Munde, Mir ist kein Weh gescheh'n; Den Himmel fühl' ich stehn In meines Herzens Grunde.

Que l'instant soit béni Où je t'ai rencontrée, Si le plaisir d'amour Éveille ton cœur tranquille Comme la rosée tombant sur des fleurs ! Que l'instant soit maudit Quand j'ai cherché en ton cœur, Si en toi cet amour Au lieu d'un doux et tumultueux plaisir Ne devait porter que des fruits secs ! Que cet instant soit béni Dit-elle d'une douce voix, Il ne m'est arrivé aucun mal, Je sens le ciel régner Au fond de mon cœur.
